And there I was thinking the crew were the only soft parts on the carrier !

Thanks for the pics Lynn - especially the cross tube seal. Is anyone making them again out there ?

Cheers

Rick, just trying to spread the info. Phillip, there was someone Stateside, or Canada, but haven't seen anything for a while.
Heres a bit more.
The cork seal is the seal from the bogie wheels. They came in the form of a steel bodied leather lipped seal.
This felt seal is from the bellcrank outside of the rear hull plate. two in each assy.
Thie leather one is from a fuel cap.

These bits are part of the leather seal in post #3 the rubber boot is an alternative, the steel pieces are parts of both setups. one fits into the hole in the rear hull, the other is a close fit on the outside of the clevis that connects to the bellcrank.
The last one if the filter off the fuel pick up pipe in the tank.

Lynn has lent me a cross tube leather boot to copy. I'll let you know if i find someone who can do a good job at the right price.

It just so happens to be the one in the photo.

I found another item. The cam plate mounting plate had (at least on this Canadian MkI* Universal) a canvas gasket between the support plate and the floor apeture.
Anyone else found this?
